Couple ways I'd approach this issue. I think you may have a combination of multiple issues which

1) measure run out on the rotor (my guess is you don't have a dial indicator , not many people do).

2) rotate the tires front to rear, and after side to side. If this affects your pulling or steering wheel shake, you most likely have a balance /tire issue.

3)break in the pads again. How was the car driven since you put the pads and rotors in? I rec light driving for at least 100k until you really step on it. You can attempt sanding down the pads and cross hatching the rotors using sandpaper. Did you clean the rotors surface before installation? There is a coating of oil put on the rotors to prevent it from rusting on the shelf.

You can do step two and three together. Make sure you lubricate the slider pins with slider pin grease (lordco has sylglyde)
